The Spirit of Nakedness: A Warning to Christians
The fashion trap, In our previous article, we explored the subtle influences in politics that can lead us astray.Today we’ll dive into the world of fashion and how it can hook us into a life style that contradicts our Christian values.
In the fashion world, it’s easy to get caught up in trends. But as Christians, we must be mindful of the clothes we wear and the messages they convey. “Don’t swallow the hook” – don’t let the world dictate your fashion choices without considering God’s perspective and his righteous judgement.
While it’s common to see women featured in revealing outfits advertising products, including cars, it’s worth asking: why not feature a well-dressed man instead? Or, why not showcase beautiful flowers on top of the car? The goal is to capture attention, but at what cost? “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2).
The spirit of nakedness is a worship to Satan. It’s a subtle yet powerful influence that can and has lead astray. As Christians, we’re called to modesty and humility. “I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, from our devotion to God and our quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight” (1 Peter 3:3-4).
The foundation of God stands sure: “God knows those who are his,” and “all who name the name of the Lord should depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). We must be mindful of the company we keep and the influences we allow into our lives.
Jesus is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle – “a radiant church, having no stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Ephesians 5:27). Let us strive to be faithful to God, remembering that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Dear friends, don’t be deceived. The spirit of nakedness is real, and it’s up to us to resist its influence. If you haven’t given your life to Jesus Christ, don’t waste time – do it now. If you’ve gone astray, know that God’s arms are open to receive you back.
Pray with me: “I am with my burden and cares; I come. Sin of every type known to my heart and thoughts, I reject. In your name, Jesus Christ, I receive forgiveness of my sins. Your life, power, and love I receive. All to live for you all the days of my life. Amen.”
